If
you like your Metal a little on the nasty side, you're going
to love "Viking Skull". In the tradition of Alabama
Thunderpussy and Nashville Pussy, they take the Whiskey fueled
Stoner Metal and mix it with some Molly Hatchet style Classic
Rock. Vocalist Roddy Stone makes Lemmy sound like a choirboy
and the wall of guitarst will punch a hole in your chest. Drummer
Jess Margera (Bam's Brother) supplies a very solid backbone
to the band. The production is very solid too, it's not your
typical fuzzed out Stoner sound, it's actually a pretty tight
mix, but it fits the music perfectly. They already done some
pretty big tours with the like of Dio, Clutch and others. Ironically,
they could fit with both those bands or anything from the retro
or Classic Rock era. If there's one complaint I have would be
that the name leads you to believe they are more of a Doom Metal
band, but who cares what what the hell I think! Simply stated,
they kick some major ass!
